Introduction:

This website is the main portal by which I share my expertise and passion for health, nutrition, and topics that are commonly known these days as integrative medicine and functional medicine. With more than a decade of clinical experience, three doctoral degrees, and innumerable patient encounters and hours of post-graduate education, I've created my books to serve as clinically-oriented repositories of essential information and "clinical pearls" gained from professional training, personal experience, seminars, and constant perusal of various research databases. Books and seminars are listed in the header (above) and the margin (left).

Nutritional, Hormonal, and Microbial Imbalances in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriasis
For this presentation, Dr Vasquez will apply a naturopathic medicine and functional medicine approach to assessing and treating patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriasis are both recognized as autoimmune diseases, and the two conditions share very similar etiologies and pathophysiology, and treatments are often very similar as well, whether with drugs or with a comprehensive interventional nutrition protocol. Dr Vasquez has published extensively on systemic inflammatory diseases, autoimmune conditions, and other conditions commonly encountered in clinical practice. Attendees will access a deep level of understanding of these conditions, gain knowledge about their clinical assessments, and will also learn how to safely and effectively treat these conditions using diet, nutritional supplementation, botanical medicines, hormone balancing ("orthoendocrinology") and--when necessary--select pharmaceutical drugs.
